This morning I helped the refuge biologist do some bird banding. We had a black-bellied plover in the net that had molted the inner primaries and was just getting the new ones. Neat to see. Does anyone reading this know how many primaries a BB Plover has? I'm thinking 10 but am not sure and this kind of info isn't so readily available. Bev Postmus, Sanibel.

At 12:30 pm, 17 Eastern Kingbird flew into the tall strangler fig located on the secluded path between the lighthouse and the beach. They flew in by small groups. After all hung out a bit, they flew off en masse. With a frigate in the background, it was quite a wonderful sight.
